Share with us, some of the values that children learn through games and play!

Board games and activities are a wonderful way, I realized, of learning and educating children with various skills and values. They get to learn through playing or solving a puzzle. This keeps the brain engaged and they do not feel like they are studying, but the kids are in turn learning something new. These skills also stay longer in their mind and they will be able to remember and associate these even after many years.

Everything from buttoning a shirt to tying shoes requires fine motor skills. I hardly remember my parents buying toys for us those day. Very few toys were bought and in fact there was no categorised toys to help us learn motor skills and all. So, here are few tips that how can you help your child develop motor skills without buying expensive toys. You can use this to reduce screen time too.

?Let your little one finger feed as much as possible. Picking up food with her fingers will help her develop a pincer grasp ,using thumb and first finger.

? If you have beads of ur normal chain and thread give the baby a thread to put beads one by one on to the thread. This needs supervision and it's not expensive too. Straws can be used as beads, to thread onto something.

?Opening a zipper bag and closing it is a motor skill developing activity.

?Around 2 years , provide small crayons that fit into your little ones hands and let them scribble on a piece of paper.

?Help your baby open and close the latches of the doors or their own sippers. Scribbling with a pencil or help with a chalk n a slate board.

?Buy a therma coal board help ur kid punch a hole with pencil ,its another motor skill activity.

?Use a regular piggy banks or a recycled container and encourage your child to hold 2 or 3 coins in the hand and push them through the hole in the box one at a time without dropping the others.
